S100, if you dig enough you might find out what kind of military system would have either spilled over into the 5Mhz band or didn't have enough receive filtering itself.
The 5MHz bands are consecutive for WCMDA in the rest of the world, but in US there are some military,etc stuff in the middle, needing more isolation.
Note also that if QCDMA for 3G would have been deployed in Finland it would have disturbed the neighbouring bands so much that one extra band would have been wasted.
That is because that 48 tap filter was "future" and "optional", QCOM didn't use any FIR filtering, just blasted the sky full of garbage..
Btw, even your old 56k modem has at least 128 tap filters, only academic idiots with no real experience do 129 tap filters (with MatLab, without any tool to properly optimize them)
An ADSL modem has a lot more except if it too is cutting corners.

That is, americans better stay out of spectrum and guardband, out-of-band interference debates, but it is a good way to keep FCC handicapped.
That "complex" filter is really fun, hilarious, probably means the poor guy who got the propaganda job has half the taps almost zero, the imaginary ones, ho-ho-ho... Using half the wheels as propellers on a tractor and then complaining the tractor still gets stuck in the mud, didn't make it into a helicopter.. |
